@Darko came by and we fired up the Ranch for a nice lunchtime burger cook and we spent a good chunk of the afternoon shooting the breeze on a beautiful day in my back yard.
I didn't get many pictures at all, but from this one, you can tell the Ranch was being used at a fraction of its capacity. I filled a chimney with Basques sugar maple lump charcoal above the top and it covered only a small portion of the charcoal grate but it was enough to sear the burgers and heat the interior up enough to finish them indirect. We also found a DR date code on at least one of the bottom dampers so it dates from 2006. This is one monster of a barbecue!
